Work Text:
You sighed, barely able to open your eyes. No matter how much you rubbed them you couldn’t get yourself awake. ‘It just had to be monday morning’, you thought, sighing to yourself. You continued to walk from your dorm, trying to ignore any other classmate you saw; you just wanted to get there on time. You woke up later than your alarm wanted you to, you got dressed later than you wanted to, and you didn’t even eat breakfast. Today wasn’t your day.
You walked through the door of the hall, making sure to keep your head down; you didn’t feel like looking at anyone, you probably looked awful. When you finally made it to homeroom you ultimately looked up. A mess. One seat was left. Guess you had to be late for everything today. You continued to walk to the only seat open, next to Bakugou. You weren’t surprised, he was a monster. You didn’t really have that much of a problem with him but you knew everyone else did, some more than others; you just happened to be on his good side apparently.
When Aizawa got in front of the class it was like looking in a mirror, you were probably as tired as he was, and you pitied the man. You sighed looking at posters on the wall, totally drowning the lesson out. It was probably about something you already knew anyway; you weren’t going to listen to useless information. You looked away, now glancing at Bakugou, you noticed he shifted in his seat slightly, but you didn’t dare to ask him what was wrong. You gave him a weird look and turned your attention towards something else in the room. After staring at the walls for more than thirty minutes you noticed that the lesson was almost over, you gazed up at the teacher surprised that a new concept was on the board now; and it didn’t help that you were now being told that there was going to be a test over this tomorrow. You looked down at your blank notebook; you were screwed.
You turned, “Psst, Bakugou, psst.” You tried your best to get his attention, you were just hoping he was going to comply.
Bakugou snapped his head towards you, he had an angry look on his face, “What?”
You got nervous now that he was finally paying attention, “Um, can I borrow your notes?”
“Why the fuck should I do that dumb ass?” He scoffed.
“Please!” You didn’t want to beg, but you needed them, “I forget to take them, I can’t see the board that well from here.” You lied.
He sighed, obviously annoyed, he started to rip the paper from his notebook, “I guess. Just bring it back to me by tomorrow.” He leaned over and handed you the paper. The bell ringed and signaled that class was over; the perfect time finally.
You smiled, getting your things together so you could make it to your next class on time, “Thank you so much! I promise I’ll have it back by then.”
Thankfully you didn’t have any other lateness problems with the rest of your classes, you were just glad that it was finally lunchtime; you haven’t eaten anything yet and you were starving. You finally got your lunch and made your way over to where the girls sat. You smiled and sat down next to your best friend Mina.
“What’s up?” You said getting comfortable in your seat.
“Oh nothing, we were just talking about homework and that dumb test Aizawa is making us do tomorrow,” Mina answered.
You laughed, looking around at all the girls in front of you, “I was so bored I forgot to take notes!” The girls around you started to giggle which made you giggle even more with them. “I thought it was something he already had gone over! I had to ask Bakugou for his notes.”
“Wait what!?” Mina hollered.
“Shh,” You shushed her laughing again, “I was desperate!”
“I know but the fact you had to ask Bakugou for his notes and he actually gave them to you!” She couldn’t stop laughing.
“I know right! He’s such a hardass.” You said biting into your meal, “but, he’s not that bad.”
“Not that bad?” Mina said, “That’s an understatement! He’s the fucking worst!”
This only made the other girls at the table laugh harder, “I know it sucks because he’s so attractive.” One of them added.
You scoffed, “At least he was nice enough to give me his notes!”
Mina’s shoulders stopped shacked, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” She had finally calmed down.
You finished your meal with your friends and made your way to your classes that remain for the day. You’re glad that the day had finally been looking up from being late this morning, maybe it wasn’t so bad.
You were wrong, you got seated next to Bakugou again, but that wasn’t the bad part, you had flunked your test. And he had to see.
You stared down at the paper in front of you, showing off the big, fat F in red. “Dumb ass.”
You turned your head to the sound, “Excuse you?” You stared at the blond, giving him an evil look.
“What?” He said, not looking at you.
“Ugh whatever,” You rolled your eyes and looked away.
“Guess you’ll need more than just my notes.” He laughed.
“I don’t need your help with studying but thanks anyway,” You said bitterly.
He glared at you and looked away again, “Dumb ass,” He muttered.
You ignored it.
You were glad when the bell finally rang, your last class finally over. You made your way to your dorm and didn’t stop for anything else; your bed was calling your name. In about ten minutes you were met with your green door you opened it and immediately threw your backpack to the side and started undressing, not caring to redress as you drifted off into a deep sleep.
You awoke when your phone started going off, you groaned and turned over to grab it; squinting when the light hit your face.
“Don’t forget my notes.” You read out loud, it was from Bakugou… It was from Bakugou. You jumped up out of your bed, now almost fully awake, “Oh shit the notes!” You gasped, you had to study for that dumb test tomorrow. You jumped onto the ground since you were standing on your bed, you looked down, naked. “Fuck!” You said under your breath now rummaging through your wardrobe struggling to put clothes on, you glanced over at the clock, you sighed when you saw that it was only 9:32. It wasn’t that late.
Once you finally had reasonable pajamas on you grabbed your backpack, sitting on your bed you take out your notebook and Bakugou’s bundled up paper. You get up and move to your desk, supplies in hand, you sit down and lay them out. You started reading his notes, admiring how neat his handwriting is and the smart tone he uses when describing things. You start to copy what he has written into your notebook when you notice something weird. You squint your eyes to get a better look at what he had erased from the paper. A heart? No. Some words? Maybe. Wait was that a heart? You shook your head, it wasn’t your business, but boy were you nosey. You lifted the paper up the light on your ceiling, trying to catch what he had written. That was definitely a heart, your cheeks heated up from embarrassment.
You struggled to see what he had written inside the heart, you wanted to stop but you couldn’t help it, you wanted to see what Bakugou was hiding. “Dumb… ass” You read out loud, “Dumb ass? What the hell?” Why had he written dumb ass inside a heart?
It hit you. Like the Tokoyo bullet train. He had called you a dumb ass today. Twice. You were the dumb ass… inside his heart. This was weird. You called Mina.
“Hello?” She answered.
You sighed in relief, “Oh my god, I think Bakugou has a crush on me?”
“Wait What!?” She practically screamed and you had to hold the phone away from your head.
“Yeah… It’s weird.” You said.
“How did you find out?” She asked.
“A… note.” You answered not too sure of yourself.
“Oh my god, thats so cute!” She confessed.
“Yeah, I’m just surprised,” You laughed, “But, I don’t think the note was for me. Does that make sense?”
“Wait… what?” She sounded confused.
“It’s hard to explain... “ You said.
“Mmm, maybe you should talk to him about it tomorrow.” She said.
You agreed and said your goodbyes and hung up, you felt defeated. How were you going to be able to sleep and study when you have this to worry about?
You could barely sleep, you wanted to throw your phone out the window when your alarm reminded you of school. You got up reluctantly and got dressed, now making your way to class with Bakugou’s notes in hand. When you got to homeroom you immediately sat next to Bakugou. You couldn’t bring yourself to look at him.
“Did you bring my notes?” He asked.
Surprised you jumped a little and turned to him slowly, “W-what?”
He sighed in annoyance, “My notes, where are they?”
You held out the papers to him, he reached and right when he was about to snatch them, you pulled away, “I actually have a question.”
He rolled his eyes at you, “What is it?”
With a trembling hand, you turned over the paper and pointed to the faint heart with ‘dumb ass’ in the middle, “W-what’s this?”
“What’s what? It’s fucking blank.” He huffed.
“No! No! Here where it says ‘dumb ass’ and you drew a heart too!” You said trying not to sound crazy, maybe you just imagined it. Bakugou noticed that people were starting to look at you both since you raised your voice slightly.
“Shut up right now before I blow this classroom up.” He demanded, “Now give me back my fucking notes.” He leaned over more and snatched them out of your hands. There was no way he was going to tell you the truth and you honestly felt defeated. You just wanted to know what it was all about.
You turned around and started reading over your own notes that you had copied, now getting ready for the test, you wanted to forget about this whole ordeal.
When school was over, all you wanted to do was go back to your dorm and take another nap; you felt exhausted from training and your brain was tired from all the test-taking, and it was even worse that you weren’t able to forget about Bakugou and his damn heart. When you finally got in through the door and slung your backpack off and got into bed, now resting your bones for a while.
You woke up around 8 pm when your alarm went off, you realized you didn’t have dinner so you managed to put on a presentable outfit and made your way downstairs. When you arrived in the kitchen you proceeded to make yourself a plate of mac n cheese. You hummed in content as you made your way to the couch, noticing that the tv was already on and someone was probably watching something. You sat down on the opposite one, not wanting to bother them.
You glanced up and gasped, it was Bakugou. Of course. Just your luck.
You blushed furiously and looked down at your food, “Listen, Bakugou, I’m sorry.”
He paused the show, “What are you talking about?” He said.
“A-about earlier, about your notes. I shouldn’t have gotten into your stuff like that and asked you about it!” You couldn’t look him in the eyes, you were too embarrassed about the whole situation and didn’t want to get onto his bad side.
“You really are a dumb ass.” He laughed.
You looked up at him, “What do you mean? Why am I a dumb ass?” You questioned now growing frustrated.
“You! It’s you!” Bakugou said now face just as red as yours.
“Me? What do I have to do with this?” You yelled.
He put his head in his hand and rubbed his forehead, “Dumb ass! Listen! You’re the dumb ass… in my heart…” He trailed off at the end but it was loud enough that you heard him.
You stopped and looked at him, “Oh,” You were surprised, you thought it was you at first but you managed to convince yourself that it was some other girl since he called a lot of people dumb asses.
He moved from his seat on the couch and walked towards you, he sat down in front of you, “Is that okay?”
You looked up at him, “I guess…” He moved closer and your heart was pounding. When your lips finally met his you felt euphoria burst inside you, you had a good feeling about this.
What you didn’t have a good feeling about was the mac n cheese all over Bakugou’s sweater when you both finally broke apart.
Bakugou sighed trying to wipe cheese off of him, and he smiled, “You dumb ass.”
